"We never know what will transpire as a result of our actions. The only thing we're sure of is if we do nothing, then nothing will change."
Kristinn, you planted your seed of faith and backed it up with action and the harvest was...30,60, 100FOLD.
Amen
I agree -- and I think someone up at the White House needs to look into this.
I think the DC chapter of FR ought to get invited to lunch at the White House, because of what they did. They went out of their way, on their own time, to do something that had repercussions halfway around the world.
We sent an army into a part of the world that has been ruled by despots and divine kings for 50 centuries. It's been that long since, the Cambridge Ancient History tells us, the democratic city-states of Sumeria were overreached by army champions who made themselves kings, and then divine kings. Fifty centuries. And now we have humiliated despotism and its pretensions in the place where it first grew up -- in its crib -- and restored freedom to the people of Mesopotamia that they haven't enjoyed since the beginning of the Bronze Age.
And our DC FReepers played a part in that. Well done!
